Think Positive!

Q. Are their any positives in this current real estate market?


A. There sure are! Think about the whole picture. It always makes good sense to trade up in a buyers market. When prices are lower, it’s a one-time shot to get your hands on a bigger chunk of equity. For example, if you sell a $200,000 home at a reduced price of $184,000, you’ve in effect lost $16,000. But, if you immediately turn around & buy a $300,000 home at the same 8% discount, you’ll save $24,000. You have just saved $8,000 ! Remember, prices are not just down in Lansing & Lynwood. You can probably save more than 8% in many markets!
